Generally speaking, courts in California don’t like to overturn the will of the people ... But the petitioners’ claim is that the people did not really have the power to do what they did. There are instances where the California courts have come in and said ... it’s nice that this is what the people wanted to do, but our constitution doesn’t permit the people to do this. - McGeorge Associate Dean Mary-Beth Moylan on the merits of the lawsuit brought against Prop. 22 https://apnews.com//uber-lyft-drivers-sue-california-prop- #AskMcGeorge
